4. From Intuition to Execution
Our investment philosophy is rooted in acquiring
value added properties at prices below replacement
value, thereby creating an immediate margin of safety
for our clients. We then add value by adaptive reuse
or repositioning of each property we acquire. Adaptive
reuse includes modifying tenant mix, redevelopment
of the exteriors to include modernization of the facade,
new development of well-located out parcel tenants
and so forth. We sell our properties, once we stabilize
operating performance, and when market conditions
make sense.
“With taxation in mind, our exit strategy is keenly
focusedonkeepingwhatwehavemade. Consequently,
we provide exit strategies designed to protect our
investor’s hard won profits.”
~Sterling McGregor
Chief Investment Officer
- Strategic Investments
Our goal is not only to outperform in good markets,
but more importantly, to provide investment strategies
that protect our investors during economic downturns
as more fully described below:
- Cautious Entrepreneurs
We are not only cautious and entrepreneurial investors
focused on our market niche, but we also stay focused
on what we know and understand, while maintaining
the highest ethical standards in our business practices.
-We are Cautious Contrarian Investors
• Niche investors with focused experience
• We buy direct from institutions and/or
“off market” or “closely held” offerings
• Exploit market misalignments
• Out of favor sectors or markets
• Poorly managed properties
• Distressed sellers
- Control Risk
We control risk by meticulous due diligence and
purchase assets priced well below replacement cost
in sub markets that feature strong amenities, central
locations and sturdy infrastructure. We also look to
exploit market misalignments and quickly acquire
and restore to profitability poorly managed properties
in the hands of distressed or time-constrained sellers.
- We look for ways to Control Risk in
Every Aspect of our Business
• Acquire assets supported by neighborhood
amenities and infrastructure
• Seek to acquire off market properties from
institutional sellers
• Purchase assets below replacement cost
• Acquire multi-tenant properties only
• Deploy meticulous research and due diligence
- Hands On
As the manager of our capital, we have owned and
operated properties over the years using our own
internally-generated profits to contribute to our long
term growth. One of the key ingredients sustaining
our long-term growth and consistent financial
performance has been strict adherence to maintaining
quality in every area of our operation, coupled with
“lean operations” and staying within our area of
expertise.
MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
-3-

5. - Add Value
Our properties are internally managed to maximize
performance, where value is created by the continuous
cycle of tenant recruitment, building renovation and
tenant repositioning. Assets are sold when profitable.
- We only acquire properties where we can add
value and implement an optimal exit strategy
• Create value by lease-up, renovation, repositioning
tenancy and vigilant management
• Strong internal “day to day” asset management
by company principals
• Properties are internally managed for maximum
performance
• Disciplined to sell when we can make a profit
Founders Approach
Management Team
• Entrepreneurial culture of achievement
and communication
• Highly cohesive management team tempered
with disciplined lean operations
• Common sense application of complex
solutions
- Reporting Transparency
We provide investors with timely and transparent
financial reporting within a public reporting format
designed to meet both entrepreneurial and institutional
requirements.
-We seek to create an alignment of Investor
Interests
• Company principals are also investors
• Audited Financials
• Full Reporting Transparency

services
• Real time web based online financial reporting
MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
-4-
We understand the financial and reporting needs of investors who
have charged us with managing complex real estate assets and strive to
provide the highest level of professional service and client fidelity.

6. Redevelopment and Adaptive Reuse
Business Model
• Is more conservative than development; eliminates
construction and other types of discovery risks
• Provides access to locations with high visibility
that can be bought at deeply discounted prices
substantially below the cost of new construction
• Provides stable cash flows upon property
stabilization
• We focus on proven market concepts that will
provide economic stability in both strong
and weak economic markets
Investment Strategies
• Use of leverage to enhance returns
• Refinance when feasible to return 100% of
investor capital and enjoy long term cash flow
• Three (3) to five (5) year typical holding period,
but may invest for shorter or longer periods
depending upon market conditions
• Provide geographic diversification where
possible
• Lease and market aggressively;
control and lower operating expenses
DealPoint works diligently to increase cash flow by
tightly controlling operating and redevelopment
expenses, aggressive use of our proprietary marketing
and branding platform, and securing attractive
financing to generate the best cash flow. Lastly, we
dispose of properties when market conditions are
compelling.
Investment Objectives
Our Investment objectives with each asset we acquire
include the following: (i) preserve capital investment;
(ii) realize income and capital appreciation through
a combination of building or new space renovation,
lease up of vacancy, tenant repositioning and strong
management; (iii) making quarterly distributions
until stabilization; (iv) achieve targeted annual rate
of returns in the range of 15% to 30%; (v) provide a
partially sheltered cash on cash return; and (vi)
seek to reduce our cost basis through the sale or
redevelopment of excess land.
At a Glance: Adaptive reuse
and redevelopment investment
strategies
Our adaptive reuse and redevelopment investment
objectives require projects where we can: 1) quickly
maximize values; 2) generate superior cash on cash
returns; 3) provide for prompt return of capital
through refinance; 4) create relatively short holding
periods of three to five years; 5) provide for minimal
development risk and quick market entry.
Targeted Property Types
With our first priority being capital preservation, our
investment strategy is focused on investments that can
offer near term security through stabilized income.
On a risk-adjusted basis, we prefer apartments, multi-
tenant retail and self-storage properties. We look for
properties located in suppply-contained markets on
an opportunistic basis as discussed below:
Self Storage: Adaptive Reuse of Big Box Properties.
Adaptive reuse of well-located corporate
manufacturing, distribution warehouses and vacant
"big box" anchored retail properties which can be
acquired at a deep discount to replacement cost, then
redevelopedintoclimatecontrolledself-storage"super
centers" augmented by onsite business amenities and
retail tenancy.

7. Targeted Property Types (continued)
Multi-Tenant Retail: Value Added Renovation and
Addition of Bank Pads. Value-added or adaptive
reuse of grocery or shadow anchored multi-tenant
shipping centers with vacancy, excess land, poor
tenant mix or other value added components on an
opportunistic basis. Value must be quickly realized
though redevelopment to include new facades and
landscaping features, new anchor and in-line tenants,
addition of investment grade tenancy on excess land,
coupled with aggressive leasing and marketing.
Student Housing: Redevelopment and Value Added
Renovation. Our value added student housing
business seeks to acquire well located student housing
projects within walking distance to the university, and
with below market rents that will benefit from value
added cosmetic and construction upgrades and the
introduction of high end amenities.
Multi-Family: Redevelopment and Cap Rate
Arbitrage. This strategy includes new construction of
multi-family housing, or refurbishing older properties
with vacancy in supply constrained markets on an
opportunisticbasisthatwillprovidestrongincremental
arbitrage returns from refurbishment and upgrades.
Medical Office: Adaptive Reuse of Hospitals. Our
adaptive reuse of well-located vacant hospital
properties capitalizes on rebranding refurbished
hospital assets into "medical malls" anchored by large
floor plate niche medical and surgical tenancy requiring
specialized hospital type amenities and services, as
well as a campus setting within a central business
district milieu. The balance of the space is then leased
to smaller medical groups.
